OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Saipan on February 25, 2013 at 12:21am: Yay AZ mommies! I get to go to home to our lovely desert land in June to see family for a long weekend. People think I'm crazy when I say I'd rather go home for the summer than be in some hot AND humid place (kinda like where I'll be this summer in GL!) I always say but it's a DRY heat! LOL

Comment by AZMom on February 24, 2013 at 10:09pm: Hello there my fellow Arizona Moms. I'm new here and my son is leaving May 21, we live in Gilbert. Are there any others Moms near us?

Comment by spyder013 on February 24, 2013 at 9:22am: I agree Jane! I would put them in everyone I care about including myself!

Comment by TamiNavyMom on February 23, 2013 at 3:11pm: Definitely praying for him!! I googled it and it is in the HI news...makes me sad to think he's all alone..they are not giving up he according to the last update...

Comment by spyder013 on February 23, 2013 at 10:41am: I haven't either... Lots of prayers heading out:)

Comment by TamiNavyMom on February 14, 2013 at 11:42pm: Teachjar...what an awesome valentine surprise!!! I'm so happy for you! These are definitely wonderful moments to remember! My son told me he was not able to get leave at Christmas (he hadn't been home since joining)... I was disappointed but understood...to my surprise and elation, he showed up in uniform to our Christmas Eve dinner and surprised our entire family! I'm cherishing all of the milestones and great times.. Have a great night!

Comment by TamiNavyMom on February 14, 2013 at 11:20pm: I got the best valentine today...my son called and has made it through SERE training! Whew...what a relief! Happy Valentine's Day!

Comment by Connie on February 14, 2013 at 11:08am: Taminavymom, We plan on going in may sometime. I would love to have my coffee on the beach.... I really miss my little girl! She really wants to get started and get on a ship and see the world....

Comment by TamiNavyMom on February 11, 2013 at 8:23pm: Hi Connie. I emailed you my friend's names. We need to get together for lunch sometime if you're in Flagstaff.. My son experienced several holds before each of his schools. I went to visit him on base and stayed at the Navy Lodge...it was so fun and neat to see the base and meet his friends. You can walk to the beach out the back of the hotel...so nice. I had my coffee by the beach every morning. Hahn...wish I was there now..lol
